The correct answer is

Actions taken by the State Administration

Emergency response means the immediate actions taken to deal with a disaster so as to save lives, protect property and relieve suffering. In India disaster management is primarily the responsibility of the States under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.

The State Government, through the State Disaster Management Authority (chaired by the Chief Minister) and the District Disaster Management Authority headed by the District Magistrate, leads search and rescue, relief and evacuation. The Centre supplements this with NDRF battalions, funds and other resources when requested.

Emergency response is thus described as the actions taken by the State Administration, since the State machinery is the first to respond and lead operations on the ground.

Hence, the answer is Actions taken by the State Administration.
